I had originally wanted other adults, and the whole point of 'looking up' was to look at their faces to find your mother amongst them. But, you know. 2 days and all. :P I actually had it set up where it was starting as soon as you load the page, but it was having some problems, so I changed it to a start button. Did I mention I have no idea what I'm doing?\r<br\/>\r<br\/>@Benjamin : Thanks. Yes, I wanted to add a 'transition animation', but didn't have time, and I didn't know how to do that anyway.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>@kato9 : I would love to, but I have never hosted anything before. I couldn't find any free hosting that let me serve up a javascript game."},{"author_name":"Michelle Sleeper","author_uid":"7673","time":"Dec 24, 2011 @ 5:16am","epoch":1324703460,"text":"Can't figure out how to play."},{"author_name":"mnem","author_uid":"7397","time":"Dec 27, 2011 @ 1:02am","epoch":1324947420,"text":"I quite liked this :) Nice interpretation of the theme, with the added creepiness of a lost child and the death of a universe amidst plaintiff cries of &quot;mama&quot;."},{"author_name":"chardish","author_uid":"3946","time":"Dec 31, 2011 @ 9:35am","epoch":1325323800,"text":"Did you do the music yourself?

Uh. So the code is terrible, and I've only tested it with chrome. And it works OK with chrome. Not great, but OK. I don't know if Firefox will work. Sorry.\r\n\r\nSo yeah, thanks. This was fun. Oh I never had a github account either, so if something is wrong with that, I'm sorry again.\r\n\r\n[EDIT3]\r\nOops. I misunderstood the rules. I thought public domain\/creative commons sound effects\/music were usable. I withdraw my entry. I'll be sure to follow the rules next go around :P\r\n\r\n[EDIT2]\r\n\r\nFigured out how to host via github. Neat! \r\n\r\nhttp:\/\/brodavi.github.com\/No-Mother-Alone\/\r\n\r\n[EDIT]\r\n\r\nInstructions and more about the game:\r\n\r\n\"Your Mother was shopping. She said wait here, she had to go get some crackers. That was a long time ago. Go look for her.\"\r\n\r\nYou are a small child. You feel as though you are lost and alone, and must go look for your mother.\r\n\r\nHit SPACE to look up.\r\nHit X to call to mommy.\r\nUse LEFT and RIGHT to walk down aisle.\r\nWhen you find an intersection, use UP or DOWN to switch aisles.\r\n\r\nHitting SPACE to look up doesn't really do anything gameplay-wise. I originally wanted there to be many adults and you had to find your mother among them.\r\n\r\nHitting X will cry for your mother. If she is on that isle, she will respond. If not, you will get a message telling you as much.\r\n\r\nAt an intersection between aisles, hitting UP or DOWN will traverse aisles.\r\n\r\nYou only have 60 seconds (or else the world ends), and you can only cry once every 10 seconds or so.\r\n\r\nI'll admit it's not much of a game. I've never made a game before. I also never wrote to Canvas before, and only barely played with Javascript before. I'll do better next time :) Sorry I don't have hosting. But it's just an unzip and pointing your browser at index.html.<\/p>","title":"No Mother Alone"}
